managing music, video, podcast, and photo collections | Forum profile

Everything you purchased is downloaded to the zune (not monitored) folder. ?It's easy enough to just back up that folder.

You can also try reporting this in the video content forum ... so someone on the content team can try to repro the issue, to see if it's a problem for more than just you.

I hit restor all, but thte software thnks the songs are still on my computer, even though the software wont play hem and wont restore them. How do I fix this and why would I evr buy music from zune again? Hi rajacob, First try and run the media collection reset tool.? If the database thinks the songs are still in your collection...

its there severs, nothing u can do about it

Heya Gredangeo.. You know..? I didn't notice that feature was gone until you mentioned it and I went looking.? But, I did find a workaround for you..? Create a playlist and add all your music to it.. Then click on your new playlist in the far left side.. and on the far right 'details' about your playlist will come up.. including how many songs and what the running time will be.. Hope that helps..

I too will try to avoid DRM music from now on. However, in this case, the song cannot be found on other music sites except zune. Probably because the music publisher wants it?DRMed.

  I didn't know you could do this.? How does one set the software to downconvert the files, I've never seen this setting anywhere.     NSILMike wrote: Two things to be aware of...? 1) You can rip your CDs in any compatible format including WMA lossless to get the best quality possible on your PC.   Then, if those files are too big to fit on your Zune, set the zune software to downconvert files at high bit rates to lower bit...

yes, you are correct, a search did point me to the reset tool.? That is what I used to delete everything before adding it back in with the new drive letter, but it still found some files pointing to the old path name. I think I figured it out.? When I copied the playlists to the new directory, the CONTENTS of the playlists were still pointing to the old drive letter. == ICE == 30 GB White x 3

Often, I like to listen to music as I'm trying to fall asleep. usually, i fall asleep without turning off the zune, and the battery is drained in the morning. it would be extremely helpful to have a sort of timed shut off. so i could go into my setting and tell my zune to sleep/shut down after, say an hour of me not pressing any buttons. I also do this a lot, I would greatly appreciate...
